Paired with a buddy, you'll use your experience of large-sale object-oriented applications to co-create something wonderful for your customers.

At comparethemarket.com (ctm) we want to push boundaries. That means giving our developers everything they need to be brilliant: from deciding the way projects evolve, to choosing the tech they need from an ever-evolving array of tools and programs. And the really good news is: we're letting London developers in on the act.

We're opening a brand new office in Old Street and we're looking for experienced front-end developers who share our passion for shiny new tech, groundbreaking ideas and collaborative working. Working closely with another developer, you'll co-create first-class web solutions. We'll look to you to innovate and learn together as a team, and to make a real difference to our business and our customers.

What will it take?

You'll bring experience of developing large-scale object-oriented applications with slick, responsive web pages - possibly in HTML5 and CSS3. You'll have a sound understanding of test-driven development (TDD), a good working knowledge of object orientated (OO) principles and design patterns and a commitment to SOLID principles. If you also know your way around JavaScript, JQuery, Backbone and Knockout so much the better. Experience of Agile methodologies is crucial. When it comes to building top-class software, we value everyone's input, so we want to work with people who share our passion - and our sense of fun.

Why choose us?

Along with a good salary, annual bonus scheme, contributory pension and life assurance, rewards include in-office Wii and mini-golf, beer afternoons, and free fruit and cake. Above all, this is a chance to learn something new every day, working alongside people who are people who are as passionate about creating great software as you are. This is a place where you can build a career that's as big as you want it to be.
